Iran, within the framework of its national sovereignty and the guarantee of international trade security, has prepared a professional mechanism to manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz along a designated route, which will be unveiled soon.

In this process, only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from it.

The necessary fees will be collected for the specialized services provided under this mechanism.

This route will remain closed to the operators of the so‑called “freedom project."

As President Trump shared last night, AFRICOM, in coordination with the Nigerian Armed Forces, bravely and valiantly conducted a successful mission that resulted in the elimination of Abu-Bilal al-Minuki and multiple other ISIS leaders. This operation underscores the exceptional value of the U.S.-Nigeria partnership and was made possible through the cooperation and coordination of our forces in recent months.

Make no mistake, our two nations will relentlessly pursue and neutralize terrorist threats and are committed to protecting our people and interests.
